'To all whom 25 may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY UTTo Muss- NER, a citizen of the United States,and resident of Glendale, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove Attachments for Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

l This invention relates to new and useful improvements in gas stoves, and the primary obj ectof the invention is to provide a small and compact type of gas stove, which is adapted to be applied to the conventional type of gas burners, so as to quickly heat or cook in cases of emergency, or where it is not desirable or convenient to use a larger stove.

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and elicient gas stove attachment for burners which may be easily and quickly applied thereto, the said stove having its various parts detachable, so that the stove may be thoroughly cleaned. This type of gas stove is applied to the gas burner without employment of the small flexible tube such as is ordinarily used for this general type of devices. Y

Another object of the invention is to pro- Vide a device of this character, which is easily and simply constructed, inexpensive to manufacture, and one which will be very eiicient in operation.

With these and numerous other objects in view, my invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of arts which will be herein referred to andJ more particularly pointed out in the specification and claim.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical section through the gas stove; and

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.

In describing my invention, I shall refer to the drawings in which similar reference characters will designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. numeral y1 designates the conventional type of `upright burner standard having its up- Y per edge externally threaded as shown at 2.

The burner stove comprises a body portion 3, that is formed in two parts, the lower part 4 thereof having a centrally disposed aperture, internally threaded and 'adapted for engagement with the externally threaded upper end of the gas standard 1. This bottom portion of the body 3 has an upwardly projecting flange formed on its outer The edge, provided with screw threads 5 von the outer surface thereof adjacent the top. The upper section 6 of the body of the stove is slightly larger than the lower section 4, and is provided with a plurality of spaced apertures 7 therein that are adjacent the marginal edge of the same. This upper section i 6 istprovided with a downwardly projecting internally threaded lflange. 8 adapted to engage the screw thread 5 on the outer sides of the upwardly projecting fiange yof the lower section.

The top section 6 is provided with a' centrally disposed internally threaded aperture 9 therein, adapted to receive the lower end o f a standard 10, that is externally threaded so as to cooperatively engage the threads of said aperture. Positioned on the upper end of the standard 10 which is likewise externally threaded is a top lsupporting plate designated by the numeralV 14, which eX- tends beyond the edge of the body portion 3 of the stove, said supporting` plate being formed in two sections hingedly connel ted as shown at 15, and having arcuate elongated apertures 16 therein adjacent the marginal edge, and inner apertures 17 that also are arcuate, and which are disposed directly above the burner apertures 7 in the upper section 6 of the stove. This top plate 14 is connected to the upper end of the standard 10. t

Inoperation, when the various parts of they stove attachment are assembled, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the same is adapted to be applied to the conventional type of gas burner standard, it only being necessary to remove the tip therefrom, and screw the lower section of the body 3 of the stove into engagement with the top thereof. The gas will flow through the pipe l into the body portion 3, and hence out through the burner openings or apertures 7 in the top section thereof. At this point.` the gas isignited, so as to heat the plate 14,

the flame also passing through the apertures .i

therein to thoroughly heat the receptacle or Agas burner.

burner portion of the stove, the vexact dis-` tancebeing immaterial. v This gas stove attachment may be very economically manu' factured owing to the extreme simplicity of the construction," and the same may be quickly applied to a` conventional type of The attachment of' the stove does not employ the usual flexible' tube, which is very obnoxious and is not desirable for use in sick rooms.

v From the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought that a clear and comprehensive understanding of the construction, operation and advantages of my invention' may be had, and while I have shown and described the device as embodying a specific structure, I desire that it be understood that such changes may be made in said structure as do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. V

I-Iaving fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A gas burner of the character described including'a'hollow body having aplurality of openings formed in the top thereof, a

standard arranged concentrically of the top of said body, and a supporting plate con posed of hingedly connected sections de# LY tachably engaged with said standard.`

In testimony whereof IafIiX my signature n hereto.
